Crutchlow's first pole awesome

..and by 0.3 of a second which is quite a lot. Good man!
Lorenzo is back at Assen but unlikely to race. I See marquez had a big high side and has a fractured finger and toe. Not that that will slow him down. He only needs his elbows for tarmac surfing...

Nice try Cal! Nearly had second until Marquez slammed the brakes on in that corner. Still, a podium finish is good. Well done lad!

I agree, just look how quickly Tai Woffinden recovered after mashing his collarbone 2 weeks later he was on the podium.

Quite remarkable Mr Lorenzo  Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Seemed to be a good one, by heck they lean over in the corners At 200kph or something  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Brilliant show by Cal, just hope that someone gives him a factory bike next year otherwise he will always be the bridesmaid.The other Tech Trois yam is wasted on Smith, will be interesting at the end of the year as he is on a 2 year contract and Cal is supposedly on the way out 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

Must be on a Factory team shopping list after yesterday. 2nd place carrying the horrific injury from Friday is unbelievable, his pass under Rossi magnificent, must be said though that Marquez is truly outstanding, 63 degrees of lean on the bike telemetry at 130 mph! As the commentator said it's easy to lean a bike to 63 degrees only genius can get it back upright again  2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

Just hope Cal doesn't end up with Ducati. Okay, Stoner could ride the thing but everyone else struggles with it, including Rossi. I think it would be a backward step although the money would be better.
Can't see Honda wanting to change either of their riders; would Yamaha ditch Rossi for Cal? Cal has proved he's quicker.
Or will Cal stay put until Suzuki enter the fray? Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Just what I feared. Ducati it is  Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

That was a rumour weeks ago Greg

Let's hope that Audi will put some money into sorting the bike. We tend to forget that compared to Honda & Yamaha, Ducati have not had a massive budget in the past few years. John
